Capital One Reimagines Banking Using AWS

Focusing on Customers

In 2014, Capital One had a fledgling private cloud capability and was also experimenting with AWS. In an effort to build the features its customers wanted as quickly as possible, the company chose to pursue AWS.

Doing the Hard Part First

Security and compliance are critical to Capital One as a financial institution. To address these needs, Capital One built a cloud-risk framework and established a cloud-governance function before moving a single workload to AWS.

Education: Key to the Cloud

Capital One offers a cloud training program to engineers who work directly on AWS as well as non-technical stakeholders who need to be able to advocate for the power of cloud computing. The company now ranks in the top three of all enterprises globally for AWS certifications held by employees.

Realizing the Benefits of the Cloud

Using AWS, Capital One brings new products to market in weeks instead of months or years, uses machine learning to improve customer experience, and attracts top developers and engineers—all of which help the company achieve its most important goal: creating great experiences for its customers.

Formula One Group Uses Amazon SageMaker to Optimize Racing

Beginning a Transformation

Formula One Group is moving most of its infrastructure from on-premises data centers to AWS and standardizing on AWS machine-learning services—including Amazon SageMaker.

Optimizing Racing with Machine Learning

Using historical race data collected from cars over the past 65 years, Formula 1 data scientists are training deep-learning models that make race predictions and help teams optimize mid-race decisions. The models can predict when teams should pit their cars, determine the best timing for changing tires, and evaluate how drivers are performing.

Bringing Fans onto the Track

Formula 1 then uses AWS data streaming, analytics, and media services to deliver insights about driver decisions and car performance to its more than 500 million fans.

Building for the Future

Because Formula 1 runs its high-performance computing workloads in a scalable environment on AWS, the organization can innovate on the Formula 1 racing experience, car design, and more without worrying about capacity.

Personalizing the Game

MLB plans to work with the Amazon ML Solutions Lab to continue improving Statcast—its tracking technology that analyzes player performance—including testing accuracy of pitch predictions and creating personalized viewer experiences.

A Home Run with Artificial Intelligence

MLB will continue to innovate using artificial intelligence. The organization plans to use Amazon Comprehend to build a language model that could create scripts for live games that simulate iconic announcers.
